Together this intergenerational group of 20 participants (10 older, 10 younger) worked with Magic Me artists Surya Turner a storyteller, and Polly Beestone, a puppeteer, over 10 weeks from May – July 2017 to explore individual and collective stories, and to create puppets to animate these tales.

The completed stories were be made into short films. These were shown at a final sharing event at Hawthorn Green sharing the work with wider audiences from school and care home communities including peers, family members, teachers, and care home staff.

A film about the project is online here. A selection of pictures showing the project can be seen here
